  Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Flood in Tropical Regions

  By Bikramjit Goswami, Anindita Gogoi, Iyir Nyodu, Lisa Baruah, Pooja Pranami Saikia, Manoranjan Kalita

  Abstract: Space based flood monitoring can provide a systematic and timely solution to the problem of flood mapping. This paper presents a way to detect as well as monitor flood by using passive microwave remote sensing (MRS). The method is based on the use of brightness temperature taken from Passive MRS Satellite. A case study from October 2012 to September 2013 on Dhemaji district of Assam, India shows that the brightness …

  Soil Moisture Retrieval from Brightness Temperature using Passive Microwave Remote Sensing

  By Bikramjit Goswami, Rittika Bezbaruah, Lige Kato, Plabita Kalita, Sukanya Dutta, Manoranjan Kalita

  Abstract: Soil Moisture (SM) data are often a derived product of Microwave Remote Sensing (MRS) satellites. The brightness temperature (Tb) however, is a basic quantity associated with the satellites in the Microwave range and is available as a common data product from all MRS satellites. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop an algorithm to retrieve SM information directly from the Tb values obtained from the Advanced Microwave …
